RFUEA Ground

RFUEA Ground is a rugby union stadium located in Nairobi on a natural grass surface. The facility accommodates around 3,000 spectators and functions as a training and competition venue for Kenyan rugby teams.

The stadium opened in 1955 with a match between East Africa and the British Lions. This founding event established it as an important center for rugby activities in the region.

The ground serves as a gathering place for rugby enthusiasts from Kenya and around the world, especially during the Safari Sevens tournament. Visitors can feel the community spirit as supporters cheer for teams from multiple nations competing at this venue.

The venue sits at an elevation of approximately 1,650 meters, which may require adjustment for visitors engaging in physical activity. It is wise to prepare for the thinner air when arriving for matches or training events.

The ground hosts the Safari Sevens tournament, which features teams from countries including Samoa, Zimbabwe, and South Africa. This annual event draws players and spectators who enjoy rugby's faster seven-a-side format.
